NoAuth – Easy Authentication with Privacy
4 by konsalexee | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I have a question that I am unable to answer to my self the last days. Any help and thoughts would help for sure. I am curious why nobody provides an authentication service that would work with OAuth 2.0/OpenID with privacy on it's centre. Let me explain my self further. It would be lovely if there was a service where I could make an account, verify that I am a real human and then I could use them to login to various apps or platforms. I would love to see a substitute of Facebook/Google login with data privacy in the centre. And for data to be safe and not distributed for advertising reasons, this service would need money to survive. So I would pay for that kind of a service. Have anyone thought or worked on anything like this? Why it is not feasible so far? Any thoughts? ProtonMail someone would say can be a way of implementing this, if we sign in with our ProtonMail email. So then, why they do not create an OAuth 2.0/OpenID services to let their users signup anywhere they want with ease?
